Next year I've got a child joining my reception class who was apparently assessed a year ago as having a reading age of ten. Now, first of all I need to get a bit more detail about this from his mum - who assessed him, what assessment / test did they use etc.... but beyond that I was just wondering about our experiences of this in your classes - any good ideas? Things to bear in mind? He visited our class last week for a teddy bear's picnic and his teddy was the Enormous Crocodile and we had a lovely chat about Roald Dahl books! My concerns are really what he can do during the daily Letters and Sounds session (not sure how his writing is, so maybe that's an avenue I can explore) and how to find books that are challenging him on a reading level - vocabulary and comprehension etc, but are contextually appropriate for his young age. Roald Dahl does seem a good place to start - do you have any other authors you could recommend? I'm looking forward to it, and think I'll find ways to extend his reading, but thought it would be an interesting 'virtual staff room' chat with all you lovely people! Any thoughts or opinions?
